CONSEW® 389RB-2 Heavy-Duty Double Needle Post Bed Walking Foot Industrial Lockstitch Sewing Machine
FULLY ASSEMBLED | TABLE, MOTOR & STAND INCLUDED
Wheels are not included and are sold separately.
DOUBLE NEEDLE • COMPOUND FEED • HEAVY-DUTY POST BED
The CONSEW 389RB-2 is a heavy-duty double-needle industrial lockstitch sewing machine designed for professional applications requiring controlled material feeding and access to difficult sewing areas.
Its elevated post-bed construction provides convenient access when sewing curved, tubular, or three-dimensional components. This configuration is particularly useful for leather goods, bags, footwear components, and other products that cannot be handled as easily on a conventional flatbed machine.
The machine combines a compound-feed walking-foot mechanism, large vertical-axis rotary hooks, and the Centra-Lube® semi-automatic lubrication system.
These mechanical features support controlled feeding, consistent lockstitch formation, and dependable operation when properly adjusted for the material and sewing task.
Key Features
- Double-Needle Lockstitch Construction: Produces two parallel rows of lockstitch sewing for decorative and functional seam applications.
- Heavy-Duty Post-Bed Design: The raised sewing platform provides improved access when working with curved, tubular, and irregularly shaped materials.
- Compound Feed Walking Foot: The synchronized feeding system helps control multiple material layers and reduces unwanted shifting during sewing.
- Large Vertical-Axis Rotary Hooks: Designed to accommodate larger bobbins and support continuous industrial sewing operations.
- Centra-Lube® Semi-Automatic Lubrication: Provides lubrication to designated machine mechanisms while allowing routine inspection and maintenance.
- Reverse Stitching: Allows operators to reinforce seam beginnings and endings through reverse lockstitch sewing.
- Safety Clutch Mechanism: Helps protect the rotary-hook mechanism when abnormal resistance or thread-related jams occur.
- Adjustable Stitch Length: Supports stitch-length adjustment up to the listed maximum of 6 mm.
- Industrial Sewing Construction: Designed for professional workshops and repeated sewing operations involving suitable medium-to-heavy materials.
Applications
- Leather handbags and accessories.
- Travel bags and luggage components.
- Footwear and boot manufacturing.
- Automotive upholstery details.
- Marine upholstery components.
- Canvas and vinyl products.
- Outdoor equipment and protective covers.
- Rainwear and selected heavy garments.
- Decorative double-needle stitching.
- Attaching suitable braids, tapes, and pockets.
- Curved and three-dimensional sewing applications.
Important: Sewing performance depends on material thickness, needle selection, thread size, stitch length, and machine adjustments. For specialized leather, footwear, or upholstery applications, JMJ Sewing Machines can assist with equipment selection and configuration.
